First of all, a very belated welcome to new friends
zombres erethesunrises falulatonks and
fairandbright - hope you all enjoy your stay! So, I'm still in grad school, so when I DO post, expect them to be massively ginormous hodge-podges of random stuff I've collected/loved/been annoyed by throughout the week. Each one will be broken down for easiest skimming capability.
+ I recently read this article on
NYMag.com about certain
tv shows as catnip - and I've come to the conclusion that HELLCATS IS MY CATNIP.
I also saw a
preview clip for tonight's episode, and HAHAHA WHEN DOES MARTI HAVE TIME TO PRACTICE WITH A FULL BAND WHEN SHE’S CONSTANTLY BEING SHOWN SHOWING UP LATE FOR HER SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT PRE-LAW CLASSES BECAUSE OF THE SUPER DUPER LONG HOURS AT HELLCATS PRACTICE????
AGAIN, IT MAKES NO SENSE, BUT I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH IT.
And Savannah and Dan, I still think you guys are too adorable for words.

merlin: Ok, I've not hidden the fact that I'm sort of annoyed at how Morgana's character has been handled this season. I refuse to believe that Morgana is totally and completely evil - in my mind, she’s still coming to grips with the path she’s chosen - when Morgause asked her to bring the dead to life to battle the Knights of Camelot from within, there was hesitation and uncertainty there... Of course, this is probably just me totally projecting how I want and expect Morgana to be this season, and how I think she should be acting and feeling. My interpretation obviously doesn’t really mesh with what the writers are giving me, and Katie’s not really helping my cause either (nor is the direction she's probably being given). Can we give her a little more depth, Katie? PLEASE? Can it NOT BE "SMIRK SMIRK EVIL DOING SMIRK CAPEY SWOOSH SMIRK SMIRK SMIRK" ALLLL THE TIME???
Maybe she got my memo, b/c she changed up her repertoire this week to include this move:
OF WHICH I TOTALLY APPROVE.

glee: This episode was actually kind of great. Sue's "Democratic Convention Sex Party!" story = ACES, and did I detect some kind of story continuity?? It's only the second episode of the season, so I'm not rushing to any conclusions, but color me hopeful. Obviously Terri’s been watching the real housewives of new jersey over the summer, if her wardrobe and accent are any indication, and since I no longer have St. Berry,Tina/Other Asian have taken their place as my casual glee ship. I mean seriously, HOW SO CUTE ASIAN FUSION?? Plus, there's things like this:
I mean C'MON, SRSLY.
Also, Carl > Will. Carl, please stay for a long long time even though I know you won't because you're John freaking Stamos. And Will, you and Emma didn’t break up because she thought you weren’t good enough, you broke up becuase 1.) I thought it was mutual (?) b/c of both your issues, and 2.) you were freaking out all over the place and being a massive manwhore.
And as for the episode's main event, Brittany S. Peirce, Brittany SPierce. One word. INCREDIBLE. First off, GIRL CAN HIT IT [and also, HEY MARK KANEMURA, thought I saw those cheekbones poppin’ off my screen!]. But now, a homage to the ridiculous amount of fabulous that was Brittany this episode:
Brittany: I don’t wanna do Britney.
Kurt: Why no Britney, Brittany?
Brittany: Because my name is also Brittany Spears. My middle name is Susan, my last name is Pierce, that makes me Brittany S. Pierce, Brittany SPierce. I’ve lived my entire life in Britney Spears shadow, I will never be as talented or as famous. I hope you ‘ll all respect that I want glee club to remain a place where I, Brittany S. Pierce, can escape the torment of Britney Spears.
Santana: Leave Brittany alone.
Brittany: Thank you for understanding, it’s been a hard road.
I don’t brush my teeth - I rinse my mouth out with soda after I eat. I was pretty sure Dr. Pepper was a dentist.
This room looks like the one on that spaceship where I got probed.
Carl: I’m gonna put you under a little general anesthesia - you won’t feel a thing.
Brittany: Like roofies?
I’m more talented than all of you, I see that clearly now. It’s Brittany...bitch.
Did you get a leg transplant?
Artie: I have Britney Spears to thank.
Brittany: You’re welcome.
YES, thank you Brittany! Simply. Amazing. IDGF about the people who were bitching about her lines being too forced and not funny last week, WHATEVER SHE'S AWESOME AND THIS WEEK WAS HILARIOUS.
+ hawaii 5-0: idgf it’s great. Wow CBS, you’ve got me watching TWO of your shows now. Point to you.
+ misc. brit tv: spooks series 9 is underway, and while I miss Ros, it's off to a great start. Tariq being all adorable technobabble genius, Ruth being brilliant, an OH NEW TEAM MEMBER DIMITRI - I THINK WE'LL KEEP YOU until they inevitably kill you off. I'm still feeling Beth out (played by Sophia Myles), but so far I like her. And Lucas... OH LUCAS. As tortured as ever I see. I just hope you've removed that major stick that was stuck up your ass during the entire first ep, then I'll feel better going back to mooning over your super badass fucked up self, ok? thanks!
I've also just discovered law & order: uk, and am kind of in love with it. Things like this don't hurt:
Oh hi new ship. Didn't expect to see you there.
+ Random stuff that's awesome:
- SO, apparently there’s this
article that reveals the Doctor’s and Amy’s relationship. I haven’t read it yet, b/c I am determined to be spoiler free for doctor who and I don’t want S6 ruined for me IN ANY WAY....BUT OH GOD THE TEMPTATION I WANT TO KNOW NOOOOOOW
